Quality improved and ensured
Quality and risk management is subjected to changes for few years. Whereby, in the past it is appreciated on belatedly elimination and documentation of occurred defects, today the “total quality management” deals intensively with the integrated view on all quality relevant business processes.
Protection of product and process quality
Cost Xpert means by quality and risk management the focus on quality planning, controlling and checking along the entire life cycle for safeguard of product and process quality. Our solution based on the approach of elimination of errors and not the error documentation.
The standardization of our estimation process associated with systematic application of methods and consideration of all relevant quality and risk factors enables the detailed determination and assessment of potential defects and risks. Supported by the beta-distribution (=best - expected - worst) the tresholds including its probability values is represented. This creates the basis for managing contingency and development of purposeful error and risk prevention strategies. Additionally, the maintenance operations will be calculated as well as costs of the application over time. Furthermore, our customers are able to determine reliably all relevant parameters for the improvement und safeguard of product and process quality at any point of time in project. Cost Xpert supports its customers integrated at the controlled optimization of product and process quality with recommendations for supporting test processes and QS measures during project run. Thereby, international approaches as well as industry standards and standards for process and product quality (e.g. SEI CMMI, EN/ISO 15504 “SPICE”) are supported.
Sustainable quality improvements require solutions to following questions:
- How can the quality of products and processes constant be improved and ensured?
- How can the company achieve a higher maturity level (CMMI/SPICE readiness)?
- What IT risks does the project have and what is their potential impact on costs?
- What defects appear and what is their number?
- What supported processes and QS measures are there?
An essential aspect is the constant improvement of estimation accuracy. Through a methodical driven control loop the ongoing improvement is ensured while stability of our expertise. This creates the basis for sure and smooth realization of software projects while improved quality.
Quality improve meaning to determine potential risks and defects.
